Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Dan's mom, who lives in a very nice retirement community. We discovered this koi pond while taking a walk around the grounds. There was a koi food dispenser so the fish were very happy.

First Day Covers

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since August. Where did the time go?

Going through some boxes I found some of my First Day Covers. The first one dates back to 1996, for the Comic Strip Classics commemorative stamps. I used a rubber stamp of Krazy Kat and colored it with Prismacolor pencils.

The next one was made in 2003 for the Reptiles & Amphibians commemorative stamps. It was decorated it the same way as the Krazy Kat envelope.

A visit to the zoo.

Earlier today Dan and I visited the Los Angeles Zoo. They have these cool molding machines, Mold-A-Rama, that make neat little plastic sculptures. I got the Three Chimpanzees model. They have twelve other designs so I will go back and try to collect the others. Oh yeah, we saw lots of animals too!

Welcome to Acornucopia Project!

I will be posting images of various things. Pictures from trips, amusing items that I have accumulated over the years, and some of my own art work.
